About ChatGPT
ChatGPT is OpenAI's flagship AI assistant — GPT-5 chat with web browsing, voice, image generation, a code interpreter, and custom GPTs.
Its breadth is the draw: multimodal input across text, image, and voice; a built-in code interpreter that runs Python in the chat; and custom GPTs you can build and share, all on web plus native macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android clients.
It fits people who want one general assistant that does a bit of everything. Caveats: the free tier caps messages, slows down at peak, and limits access to the most advanced models; it's closed and can't be self-hosted; and the core product doesn't support third-party models like Claude or Gemini.
It's the broad, closed generalist next to Anthropic's Claude and Google's Gemini.
